Tuna Birthday!

You don't plan on spending your birthday doing hand-to-hand combat with a tuna sandwich. But life is full of little surprises. And when the challange is to paint a tuna sandwich.And you have a deadline, the tuna sandwich takes precedence over champagneet macarons. I'm always saying I never eat birthday cake... Last weekend I took myself off to Soho to do chocolate cake research for the same illustration project.

I love tuna sandwiches, and it appears you are doing your usual brilliant job painting it. However, I can definitely assure you that if at any point I can spare the money to purchase one of your watercolors, it will be of macarons and not some chopped up chicken of the sea!

Sorry I'm late in seeing this post, but I send you the happiest birthday wishes nonetheless! (You share the same birthday as my husband and his twin, so now I won't forget :)) Hope you have a fabulous year ahead, full of happy painting, exciting travel and brilliant blog posts!

Happy Happy Birthday!!! Love these pieces and even more, omg hand was itching to draw them.. LOL...not to mention odd and strident craving for chocolate cake!! Sandwich is looking great. Hope you have a lovely day and many more Patisserie filled birthdays to come. xoxoJan

Carol - A belated Happy Birthday! I just saw this post. I'm so glad to have found your blog. As I just read in Colum McCann's Let the Great World Spin, "The only thing worth grieving over...was that sometimes there was more beauty in this life than the world could bear." Thank you for bringing beauty into our lives!

Hi I'm Carol Gillott,
My Mom taught me watercolors at 5. I'm still at it, now tripping over cobblestones, living in a 6th-floor garret on l'Ile Saint-Louis, Paris. Read Parisbreakfast with a hot chocolate and croissant.
